Primary Shop = CottonEyedJo.etsy.com
Title = Hurricane Ike Survivor Hurricane Repellant Hex Signs
Element = Wind
Description = Although I'm not sure that wind as strong as Hurricane Ike could ever qualify as my favorite element, a cool breeze on a hot TX afternoon is definitely a winner. This is a rusty spring makedo with paper tags with sayings like "Hurricanes blow" and "survivor of Hurricane Ike" There is a package of tags included with the spring and wool hex pennies.
